Video debut: The Boxer Rebellion performs on a balcony

Is there anything better than watching a beautiful view from a balcony?

Back in 2006 some friends in Dublin thought of one thing that could sweeten a balcony: live music. (I might add a cold brew to that scenario.) Thus began Balcony TV, which has since become a worldwide phenomenon and given exposure to thousands of up-and-coming bands.

Balcony TV posts 50 live performances each week (holy moly), recorded on balconies all over the world. Over the years it has featured many artists that went on to become big, including Mumford & Sons and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

Today I'm excited to debut a Balcony TV video from The Boxer Rebellion. (You know I love a group with ties to Tennessee!) Filmed on a balcony in Poland, here's new rendition of the song Diamonds:

Balcony TV recently expanded to New Orleans, Athens and other cities. (It hopes to pop up in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and Boston soon.) To watch more performances, head to balconytv.com or youtube.com/balconytv.
